Know all men that 1, MELVIN WOOD, of Babes Corners, in the county of Macomb, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and 4useful Improvement in a Ohurn; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to theacco-mpanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specification.

y This iinvention is designed to facilitate the process .oi' butter-making, by rapidly separating the butterfrom the milk, by means of oscillatingdashers, which can be Worked with great rapidity in aoream-chambeir properly placed in a box to contain hot or cold Water, as the case may require, to keep the temperature of the cream a`t the proper degree, which water operates upon the outside of the cream-chamber. r

In order to accomplish lthis object, I construct a. rectangular box, A. The rear corner-posts B B extend far enough aboverthe box to form proper bearings for the double crank C, fron "ch the connecting-rods D D give motion to the oscillating-dasl1ers E E, 4which pass through'and are pivoted to t..e cover F. Inside this box A is placed a false bottom, Gr, made. tight with the box n'pon its four sides, and, which forms the bottom of the cream-chamber.

Between the bottom' of the cream-chamber (which should be conca-ve or crescent-shaped) and the bottom and to draw o' the water. J is an 'opening` in'the side ofthe box, above the bottom of the cream-chamber,

ends of the box are water-spaces. H is an opening, for the introduction of the water, and I is another opening, V through which to draw oit` the buttermilk. K is the Water-space above referred to.

The drawing represents the churn partially in section.

What I claim as'my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the box A, posts B B, double crank C, the connecting-rods D D, the oscillating-dashers E E, the cover F, the false bottom G, the openings H I J, and the balance-Wheel K, and water-spaces L I, when arranged and operating for the purposes herein set forth.
